Welcome to NYU Study Abroad! We’re delighted that you’ll be spending a semester or year with us and can’t wait to greet you in Paris. In the meantime, this page will guide you through everything you need to get ready for your term abroad. We’ve mirrored the acceptance letter very closely, so please be sure to use that as an additional reference.

Upon your arrival in Paris you'll receive a login and password to the NYU-in-Paris website where you will find course descriptions, sign-ups for cultural activities, a library catalogue and pictures from recent events.  You can visit the site for a preview of what to expect in Paris.

By the time you've visited this site, we're assuming that you've already reserved your place in NYU Study Abroad and received (or renewed) your passport. If you haven't, please check your acceptance materials for details on those two very important preliminary steps.

Here’s what’s next:

Ongoing, but get started ASAP!

Unfortunately, NYU does not have the ability to change visa requirements, nor does it help if we call consulates or embassies on your behalf. Though we're happy to help you in whatever way we can, the decision to issue you a visa rests solely with the consulate or embassy. Below you'll find instructions for getting your visa, along with sample visa applications and supporting materials.

ASAP to ensure that all materials get to you promptly.

NYU Students: We'll send all e-mail communication to your NYU e-mail address (not your personal or Stern address), so check that account regularly or activate mail forwarding.  In addition, make sure that your addresses and phone numbers in NYUHome are updated so that we're able to contact you with important information throughout the semester.

Visiting Students: You'll create an NYUHome account prior to registering for classes (see #4). At that point, be sure to keep your contact information current and check your NYUHome e-mail account regularly.

The housing form is available through the online forms system (see #7).

NYU Students: Remember to cancel NYU Housing for next semester. Bring your original acceptance letter (plus a copy) to the Housing office at 383 Lafayette Street along with the housing cancellation form by April 1st in order to have your deposit credited to your fall bill. We'll notify you via e-mail when the link from this page to the cancellation form becomes available. Questions?  E-mail housing@nyu.edu.

Registration begins the week of April 14th.

You'll find the comprehensive list of classes here.  Pick out the courses you like, keeping in mind that some classes may fill before you're able to register. We encourage you consult our Undergraduate Course Policy as you begin the process of selecting your courses. For registration instructions, click either NYU Student or Visiting Student (this version also includes Blackboard instructions).

Visiting Students: If you're able to attend any on-campus events, we'd love to have you. However, we're also committed to those of you who don't live near New York City. Here are a few ways we ensure that you're well-informed:

  • We'll send you regular e-mails with comprehensive "what to do" lists and details
  • Our staff is always available to provide prompt assistance to any questions you have by e-mail or phone
  • We can put you in contact with students who attended our programs so that you can get inside information on what to expect.

Submit your Flight Information May 30th.

We provide you with information on discount flights in your acceptance packet or via a subsequent e-mail.  You can research your own flights as well, but we hope it gives you a sense of what's available.

May 30th.

Our online forms system is where you'll submit information on your flights, passport, housing preferences, health insurance, and emergency contacts.  However, we also require two paper forms.  These are simple to complete, but will require your time and may require a visit to your physician, so please plan ahead. For detailed information on how to use the Webforms system, please click here.
